Razer Announces the DeathAdder V2 and Basilisk V2 Gaming Mice
Razer leunched the Razer DeathAdder V2, the latest iteration of Razer’s best-selling mouse, and the Razer Basilisk V2, Razer’s customizable gaming mouse, both upgraded with the latest in Razer’s mouse technology.
Retaining its signature design, the Razer DeathAdder V2 now features Razer’s Focus+ Optical Sensor, Optical Mouse Switches and Razer Speedflex Cable.
Designed for medium to large hands, the DeathAdder’s ergonomic shape is suited for palm grip users and works well with claw grip styles. The optimized design also provides greater comfort for gaming with reduced stress on your hands.
The DeathAdder V2 is further improved beyond just tweaks to the shape. The mouse is equipped with a new sweat-resistant coating and rubberized side grips for better control. The DeathAdder V2’s scroll wheel is also tuned for distinct, notched scrolling at a lower resistance. All of this is achieved within a 82g lightweight design.
At the heart of the DeathAdder V2 is the Razer Focus+ Optical Sensor, boasting the highest sensor specifications in the market and further enhanced with new intelligent functions. With the new Smart Tracking, Asymmetric Cut-off and Motion Sync features, the Focus+ optical sensor makes the DeathAdder V2 an precise gaming mouse.
The DeathAdder V2 is fitted with Razer’s Optical Mouse Switches, which use infrared light beams to actuate clicks, eliminating the risk of any unintended double-clicks. These Optical Mouse Switches are built to last for 70 million clicks.
The Razer DeathAdder V2 also sports the flexible Razer Speedflex Cable. With the new, low-drag Razer Speedflex Cable covering, gamers will experience less friction and snagging along the normal pinch-points.
The DeathAdder V2 sports 8 programmable buttons, all fully customizable via Razer Synapse 3, giving you quick access to macros and secondary functions through Razer HyperShift. Accessible through Razer’s Synapse 3 companion software, HyperShift allows gamers to assign secondary functions to any button, activated by a user-defined shift key or button.
The DeathAdder V2 now also features Advanced On-board Memory, with room for up to 5 profiles saved onto the mouse. Razer Chroma RGB support lets gamers personalize their preferred color scheme and synchronize the DeathAdder V2 with other Razer Chroma enabled devices.
